It's going to be interesting to see if we ever catch up in this arms race. What you've described here still won't stop 80% of tracking on the Internet and won't even slow down a state actor.

Right now short of living off grid in a faraday cage we have no privacy. It's all good advice for slowing down the petty Internet hacker, but Google, Facebook, and the government still have access to everything, and it seems more and more service providers block access through VPNs by the day.

That's true. This is the very minimum you should employ.

If you want further config...

No internet history, wipe cache, and temp data, then rotate add I'd

Use a fresh disposable VM for each internet seasion

Customize Firefox for privacy

Don't use windows, use Linux

Don't use your web browser in full screen mode, rotate sizes

Use a secure DNS, and a DNS sinkhole

I guess that's kinda where I'm at though. At that point the computer is basically useless to me, which is exactly how they wanted it.

Fortunately I don't have to do anything too sensitive anymore. But still, they are watching.

Depending on the county.

Just use a derp VM, and a separate sensitive vm
